Submitting Reports

Reports are to be sent to Salimah Hankins at shankins [at] ushrnetwork [dot] org by June 30.

If you are NOT planning to send your shadow report through USHRN, then you can send it directly to the CERD Committee by July 25, 2014 (20 copies if by hard mail).

Questions? Email Salimah Hankins shankins [at] ushrnetwork [dot] org.

The State Department asks that groups copy them at CERD@state.gov when they submit their shadow reports. This allows them to better prepare for the review. The shadow reports will be made public shortly after they are submitted to the UN.
